by Bansky.
Anything that references modern culture and makes you smile is a thumbs up from us!

Part of the Turk Street mural. Simply beautiful, need we say more?


by Bansky.
Yes Bansky again! There is so much of his work we could put on this blog. This example is a personal favourite and is executed fantastically; this critically-acclaimed artist in so many genres has done it again!


by Moose (Paul Curtis).
With artists and society becoming increasingly environmentally aware, a new movement called the 'new clean art' movement, sometimes also called 'reverse' or 'inverse' graffiti, has started.
This is the latest way of expressing creativity, co-opted for use in the guerrilla marketing campaigns of late. The graffiti is produced by cleaning the dirt from the walls, leaving the authorities a little stumped when it comes to how to act upon the inverse graffiti. How do you fine someone for cleaning? Quoting the followers of the movement:

It’s a bit like fining your mother-in-law for finding dust on your mantelpiece.

Nonetheless it is apt that our carbon footprints should be marked so clearly, in the dirt!

We found this on the Internet; if anyone knows who created it please let us know!
Not only is this piece obviously an extremely cool optical illusion but it is in our list for its fantastic execution, creatively painted as if it were just a "spur of the moment" thing, using such aesthetically pleasing lines which almost reference the old political newspaper comics.

That’s all for today,

Keep Creative,
